O line woes

Recommended Posts

I keep mulling this over as to why this o line is so bad. You have over 40 mil. invested in 3 of the 5 guys who have all been pro bowlers. They just look so out of sync it doesn't even seem right. This Nelson contract will haunt us. 20 mil. on a guard. C'mon man !

Look at what Simmons did to the OL and run game here and tell me the problem is not the OL?  

 

He did this against Granson who isn’t an offensive lineman nor is he known for his blocking lol. Also we cannot discredit Simmons he is quietly a top 10 interior defensive lineman in this league, I might go as far as saying he’s in the top 5.

its really communication and getting on the same page. I think they are trying to take a step in the right direction, if you didn’t notice they started Fries over Pinter on Sunday and he played relatively better. It’s going to take a while for this front 5 to Gel. I also think that Pryor is a major liability IMO.

It’s simple. They fired their OL coach that lead them to a top 3 average for a random dude and we’ve declined since

Honestly when I eat h the high lights this is what I see. An Oline coach  not taking advantage of  Nelson, Smith's and Kelly's greatest strengths. I have always ddaid it with these three. They should be moving forward not back on their heels.  Trying to make them pretty when they are not. Fire Strausser

Our OL was turned into finesse with Strausser. And soft. 

Need more power/man with run game, and become great again.

    • I'm not in Indiana, but I am so ready for the draft. I should have taken the day off.   I would be surprised to see that trade. The pats have said they have not received serious offers to trade back. But that would be great to see Marvin Harrison's son as a Colt.
    • Surprisingly in “twitter land” it’s picking up steam lol. It’s the Wild West in there right now. On the .0000001% chance it happens I feel the fanbase would still be split. Some furious over compensation. Some over the moon to get Marvin’s son in Indy.    As long as we don’t draft a OL in the first round I’ll be a happy camper. Hoping for Bowers, BTJ, Arnold in that order for who would (realistically) want. 
    • There’s been a lot of comments made by Ballard lately that they are always planning a few years out, while the coach is pushing for players that can help now. So it’s a balance. He’s made comments that the goal is to protect and provide weapons for AR. The talent at the top of the draft seems like there could be a couple really good offensive lineman falling down to us, with a run on receivers and skill players. I don’t necessarily see that, I think there could be a run on qbs, tackles, and pass rushers with the obvious 3 receivers before we pick. That could potentially push all corners, as well as Bowers down to 15. But say, both corners and Bowers go top 15, who does that push out? Most likely a talented tackle. They can either trade back or take the highest rated player on the board, which would provide swing tackle depth, and a plan for if Smith is injured/isnt re-signed following 2025. Some are speculating it might be best to move Smith to guard in that scenario. 
    • I don't believe this would ever happen as the price would be much too steep. The only way this is even a remote possibility is if the Pats do not like Maye or McCarthy . Then this would also need the QB needy teams to feel the same as NE . The value of Maye , if he's a franchise QB is multiple firsts. IMO , you can't give up that for a WR
